The weather in my neck of the woods:
We got some rain this weekend and it felt wonderful, just wish we had more on the way.
One of my simple pleasures:
Taking a super long shower
On my bedside table:
A few books to review
TV control
Nail polish
On my TV:
General Hospital - I'm counting the hours until the show starts. If you're a Jason and Sam fan you will understand why LOL
On the menu for tonight:
Pizzeria Pot Pie
On my To Do List:
Two loads of laundry
Clean bathrooms
New Recipe I tried last week:
Haven't tried any new ones in a long time, I've hit a bit of a blah phase and have been relying on old family favorites.
In the craft basket:
Absolutely nothing.
Looking forward to:
Driving my Durango again, it's finally fixed and up and running and I'm all giddy about it LOL
Homemaking Tip for this week:
Trying to get rid of the weeds growing the cracks of your sidewalk or driveway? Pour some straight vinegar on them.
Favorite Blog Post of the week (mine or other):
I'm leaving this one blank, I didn't get around to any blog reading.
Favorite photo from last week:
Lesson learned the past few days:
Just when you think your kids are enjoying school, they turn around and show you otherwise. Nicholas loved kindergarten last year and is hating first grade this year, it's been a nightmare every morning to get him to school. I've learned that I have a lot more patience than I thought I did.
On my Prayer List:
Family and Friends
Devotionals, Scripture Reading, Key Verses:
If you are really eager to give, it isn’t important how much you are able to give. God wants you to give what you have, not what you don’t have.
2 Corinthians 8:12
Hi Sandra,
ReplyDeletesorry to hear that your son is not enjoying school. I'm sure he'll come around.
I enjoy long showers too.
Happy Monday and hope you had a good bloggy break.
I'm going to try your tip. Those peskey weeds are annoying!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!
Playing along again this week! Fun! Enjoy your break!
ReplyDeleteI have been gone all summer due to redecorating three rooms with one to go but I sure have missed blogging and I so loved Happy Homemaker Monday. I have missed reading what is going on in your neck of the woods too.

Hope getting Nicholas off to school starts to improve soon - that is so tough!
ReplyDeleteI loved the verse on giving and I hope your son starts liking school better. Maybe once he is familiar with the teacher and makes friends he will be happy. I hope you have a nice week and thanks for hosting this event each week.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Elizabeth
Hey Sandra!
ReplyDeleteLove the new look!
Have a great Monday!
First grade is tough. Hopefully as the school year progresses he'll begin to like it. Thanks for the tip about the weeds, will have to give that one a try.
ReplyDeleteI know about the school thing. My grandkids were homeschooled and just started public. talk about a nightmare for Sara. It just breaks her heart ( and Mine) to see them going thru this adjustment...**sigh** Now the long, hot shower sounds like the best thing for all.....
ReplyDeleteSandra,
ReplyDeleteGreat new look for your blog layout!
I love it! Another great tip for removing weeds from the cracks??? Boiling hot water! I brew some up in my kettle and walk around and pour it all over them.
Love and Hugs ~ Kat
The link for the Pizzeria Pot Pie took me to a potato dumpling stew recipe. Would love to have the right link. That just sounds too good.
ReplyDeleteSorry Nicholas is having a hard time with school so far. Grade 1 is very different than kindergarten, so hang in there, he'll probably come around.
Sorry Nicholas isn't enjoying school, does he like hi teacher? I hated my kindy teacher, I still remember, she was very disorganised and frumpy and I cried every morning. Mum said the year after I got a neat and tidy organised teacher and I skipped off to school each morning
ReplyDeleteJust stoppin by to say HI & good to see you back :) Love the new look :)
ReplyDeleteI loved the verse on going.....First grade is tough.. hopefully as the time progress he starts liking it...

What a bummer. Hopefully Nicholas will grow to enjoy it ...
ReplyDeleteps ... love the new blog look !!
Hi Sandra-
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love your blog! Always feel more motivated to do my housework after reading. You make your chores sound so calming & peaceful.
Thanks for your tip about the weeds. I was just thinking this past weekend that there has to be a solution to these weeds in the driveway cracks.
Will pray that your son adjusts to the 1st grade quickly.
